Description The present study aimed at evaluating the nutritional composition of bakery waste and its impact on growth, production, nutrient utilization of broiler chickens. A total number of 240 day-old broiler chicks were bought from hatchery and randomly allocated into 5 groups- Control, T1, T2, T3 and T4 each group consisting of 48 chicks. Each group was further splitted into 4 replicates each having 12 chicks. Each group was given pre-starter(0-14days), starter(15-21 days) and finisher ration(22 day onwards) with control group receiving maize-based basal diet and T1, T2, T3 and T4 groups receiving diet replaced with bakery waste @ 5,10, 15 and 20% of maize in order to meet the nutritional requirements of chicks as per ICAR (2013). It was observed that feed intake was statistically comparable among all groups during 1st, 4th and 6th week. However, in week 2, 3 and 5 feed intake was significantly highest (P<0.05) in T3, C and T3 respectively. During 1st, 2nd and 6th week, the average body weight (g) was comparable in all five groups while the average body weight was significantly higher (P<0.05) in control group during 3rd, 4th   and 5th week. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) of all five groups at different phases- pre-starter, starter and finisher did not vary significantly irrespective of different diets fed to them. Protein efficiency ratio (PER) during week 1 and 5 was significantly highest (P<0.05) in control group and comparable among all groups during week 2, 3, 4 and 6. Cumulative feed intake was significantly highest in T3 group during pre-starter and finisher phase and in control group during phase whereas, no significant variation was observed for cumulative body weight, FCR and PER in birds of different treatment groups. It was observed that the initial, final and average body weight, feed, DM, OM, CF and NFE intake (g) during the metabolism trial was significantly (P<0.05) highest in control group than other groups while that of EE and TA in T4 group.
